Your support made it happen! Over $500k for the FSF fundraiser

We did it thanks to you. The Free Software Foundation (FSF) had
another successful winter fundraiser this year. For us, 2017 ended
on a high note, by blowing past our fundraising goal of $450,000 (USD). Thanks to your generosity, we have raised over $500,000 to power up the FSF and support software freedom in 2018.

FSF staff and volunteer presence at events and conferences around the
world.

To top it all off, we ended 2017 with over 5,000 FSF members -- more than ever before. As over 85% of our funding comes from donations and membership dues, these members are vital to the FSF. We are powered by donors, members, and volunteers like you -- all of the work of the FSF is accomplished with your help.

Again, thank you so much for your generosity. We're excited to see what we can do together in 2018.
